Hey CR SWADE

did you hear that pickle with the motorcicle somg in the intro thing to Greatist Hits? When was it popular?

It came out just about the same time I did:confused: Although I don't think it was ever popular. My first memories of a real MX race was when I was about three or four (1971 or 72)and my parents took me to see a friend of theirs race down by Hutchinson, Ks. They were kind of hippies, music-wise and I remember that song in the pits that day, as well as Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road. You know, timeless classics. From that day on, all I ever wanted to do was ride.

I heard it again on Fox Greatest Hits and was reminded of watching that first race and being hooked. Heck, I even have a Rough Rider MX lunch box from when I was about four years old displayed in my garage.

It really is a great song as well as some great vintage footage.:cool:

Oh and to all of the law enforcement officers out there (who I have much admiration for), c'mon I was just a kid and Arlo was just tellin' a story-no disrespect was intended by him-I think anyway.:)
